I have a similar equation for productivity!Productivity = [(# consecutive hair twirls with right hand + # consecutive hair twirls with left hand)/(# sentences in scientific article re-read due to hair twirling distraction) – (# scientific articles left to read)/(maximum # scientific articles professor could possibly assign for one day + 5 more)] / # minutes until head involuntarily hits computer wrist restOh, grad school. How much we must love thee. ;o)
